Victor Caro is a counterterrorism officer with the CYA, caught in a world where job security trumps national security. On assignment in West Africa in a post-9/11 world, he is tasked with hunting down the terrorist Omar al-Suqqit, who is looking to launch his group of ragtag militants onto the international jihadi stage. But chasing a terrorist proves an easier challenge than managing his agency's bureaucracy. Omar, meanwhile, faces his own bureaucratic struggles as he joins forces with a global terrorist group that begins micro-managing its franchises in an effort to streamline attacks. When Victor appears on his own country's Terrorist Watch List and Omar finds himself struggling to write "Lessons Learned" in the suicide bomber program, they each realize they might have a common enemy: red tape.

Case officer Victor Caro is back, and he's brought the whole family along this time. On assignment in South America with his wife and young son, Victor must break up an alliance between one country's charismatic autocrat and a narco-trafficking revolutionary group in the country next door. As the group's support for the increasingly dictatorial leader grows, Victor enlists the help of a colorful group of CYA colleagues, along with his own family, to neutralize the threat. As they manage sources in the Amazon and diktats from Washington, Victor and his team witness how populism can drive a wealthy country into an unstoppable downward spiral. It's a jungle out there, but it will make for one hell of an adventure.

What if the "official" version of events on 9/11 could be disproven solely on the basis of physics, mathematical equations, scientific formulas, physical evidence, and expert testimony - without the use of a single "conspiracy theory"? Might this dramatically alter your perspective on 9-11 and the war and "security" policies that are based on it? "9/11 on Trial" focuses on physics: the behavior of fire, steel, and falling bodies, to prove conclusively that the collapses of the three WTC towers were not caused by jet fuel, but were in fact exactly what they looked like: controlled demolitions. The approach is question, answer and cross-examination, in eighteen "witness statements" covering forensic aspects of the collapses. Each statement is constructed from citations from 48 different works by expert researchers. The inescapable verdict: government insiders were guilty of perpetrating 9/11 for their own ulterior motives.

In the wake of a historic earthquake in the fragile country of Haiti, Kent Annan considers suffering--from the epic to the everyday--as a problem for faith. Less than two weeks after the release of Kent's book about his work with Haiti Partners, he heard the news. Friends trapped under the rubble of buildings. Friends sprinting across the city looking for family. Churches--including one Kent often attended--turned to rubble. Suddenly Kent and his friends were part of an uncomfortable fellowship: people whose faith is shaken by crisis. Taking courage from the psalmists of old and the company of his grieving neighbors, Kent has found that there is solidarity in suffering. Others have followed life to the edge of meaning and have heard God even there, calling for honest faith. Are there questions or realities your faith can't handle? Kent wrote: After Shock; to help you find out.
